Sen O’Connor (R-KS) Runs for Kansas Secretary of State
Posted On: June 12th, 2005 at 2:06 am
So what? Why should I care? Who cares about Kansas anyway?
Well, Dorothy, hang on to your sparkly red slippers and try not to drop a
house on the Lollipop Guild.
Kay O'Connor doesn't believe in women's suffrage and thinks the 19th
Amendment should be rescinded.
For this reason, some womyn are suspicious of her motives, suggesting that O'Connor
will abuse the office of SoS by inappropriately and illegally interfering with
elections and voting:
A Kansas state senator who has been quoted as saying she does not support
the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote is running for Secretary
of State. Republican Sen. Kay O'Connor announced Wednesday that she was
running for the statewide office, which oversees elections and voting. This
position has become increasingly important in allocating voting machines to
districts and precincts, choosing election equipment, and deciding whether
or not to purge voter rolls.
Here's what
was said at the beginning of the yellow brick road back in 2001.
Sen. O'Connor's website
What do you think? Has Sen. O'Connor been sniffing too many poppies or
should the Cowardly Lion covet the old girl's noive?

She's on the right track. But first somebody needs to take the car keys away to prevent women from driving and endangering all us men on the roads, and then the 19th can be repealed.

Tina - God's country would be the Republic of Texas. we'd like to let Kansas in on the wealth, but then we'd have to include Oklahoma, and that's no good
"To me, it sends the wrong message to women today that you don't need to use your mind -- just become an appendage to your husband."
I think these people totally miss why she believes the way she does. it's the same old "woman's place" debate. the senator never said for women not to use their minds. she is simply saying that women should have to vote. she said that if men were doing their job as head of the household, women would need to vote, but since that is not the case... she does herself vote (she's a senator), but she is merely saying that's not the way it should be.

Texas might be where God vacations, but His country is really Kansas.
